IN SELF-DEFENCE.

The Pittsburgh Chronicle says:
1.-The latest invention of capital for
combination is the trust We have
the cotton seed oil trust, the distillers'
and cattle feeders trust, to say nothing
Of the Standard oil combination. The
newest move in this line is the stove
trust in which it is hoped to gather
the stove manufacturers of the country.
They have SIS, 900, 900 invested cap
ital, and an annual production Of
double that amount. 1t is claimed
for the proposed trust that it would
effect a saving Of So, 900, 900 yearly,
and it is expected that a twenty per
cent. dividend could be declared, and
yet the prices of last year be main
tanned. That is a good enough show
ing for the manufacturer. What in
terests the public is the question Of
saving to the consumer. If this COM
bination expects public favor it will
have to show that prices will be
lowered. And the tendency of such
monopolies is, seldom in that direc-
ton"
And yet we find men, who ask why
the farmers should combine. Strange
that they cannot see that with all
other classes and interests organizing
that the farmers are compelled to do
it in self-defence.

Hard work alone may never bring

How many farmers car explain that?
Now unless. he understand that, he may

is too wet, or with a total disregard
for utilizing the vegetation that may
be growing upon it. But if he, knows

perform that wnrk. Just so may a

the Supreme Court. But ifthe com
pay appeals to the Supreme Court
iecannot continue the discrimina-
ton during the time that it procras
tinates the litigation. This rs emf
nently proper, because we all know
that the policy of a railroad is to
prevent final decision as long as
possible.
1t is amusing to hear these rail
road lawyers object to the expense
of this commission. 1t may cost as
much as $4,000 year and this ex-
pcnse will save the people nearly as
many millions. The bill offered by
Col. Chew contains one feature
which is decided Improvement up
on any thing heretofore offered,
and this feature will become more
popular the longer it is considered.
Experience teaches that public
officer is apt to draw his salary with
out earning it, and the creation of q
new office frequently offers an oppor-
tunitv TO pension on taxpayers some
trifing drone, who lacks capacity to
earn a livelihood in private employ
ment. 1.-THE railroads do not VIC
late the law the Commissioners will
not be occupied ten days out of the
, months; on the other hand if the
railroad managers undertake to baf-
fe the law and to punish shippers
who complain, then the Commission
will have great deal of labor to
perform. The bill provides, that
the Commissioners are TO be paid by
the hour, and they cannot be paid
unless they exhibit an itemized ac-
count showing the particular price
of work for which q charge is made
and the number of hours occupied
in performing it. Hence, Com
missioner will be paid for his actual
labor but will receive nothing for the
time he is idle or may be otherwise
employed. These accounts will be
inspected by the Legislature and it
will decide whether the charges are
proper and Just. If the conduct. Of
the railroad managers be such that
the Commissioners are constantly
employed to protect our citizens
against wrong and injury, then they
cannot receive in one year eXceeding
$4,000, this is the limit: but if there
be no complaint against the railroad
managers the Commission will not
cost the State anything. 1t Is our
pupose to publish the bill and scat
ter it over the State and we under
take to assert that it will grow in
popular favor and that the popular
clamor Cor its passage will be
too turbulent to be safely resist
ell. II the railroad managers
are wise, they will not drive
the people Of West Virginia to des-
pcration. II this bill be defeated
we predict. it will be impossible for
the conservative men of the State to
prevent theneXt Legislature from re-
duciug railroad rates to much lower
figure than is now dreamed of.

SIGNIFICANT!
Some of the Last Public Opinions Of
Great Man.

New York Correspondence CT Gland
Leader.
z One has most excellent opportu-
nifty to study "man" as represented
by the average New Workers.
Among the wealthy classes. very
many of them have the waxy skin,
dropsical flesh, and "puffed eyes"
that are indicative of serious kid
ney affection. "Bright's disease is
plainly written on their faces. Since
General Logan's death the subject
of rheumatism is being discussed by
the medical profession.
Every intelligent person, with any
knowledge of the human system, is
well aware that if the kidneys are in
good condition all unnecessary ma
terial is regularly carried off by
them. If not, various acids, such as
uric acid, one of the chief causes Of
rheumatism, are left in excess, Gre
ating deposits that cause all sorts OF
chronic organic diseases. 1t would
seem, therefore, that rheumatism,
like dropsy, is not disease, but the
result Of disease, and it is safe to
say that if the stomach and kidneys
are kept in healthful condition, there
will be no deaths from rheumatism.
General Logan was well aware
that his disease was of the kidneys,
and once expressed himself in indig-
nant terms at the folly OF doctors
treating him for rheumatism, when
it was the kidneys that caused his
attacks. The high living and the
excuses IN all things, prevalent
among wealthy men in large cities,
especially in New York, is the chief
cause for Bright's disease, and the
aristocratic trouble known as rheu-
matism, even as insufficient aud i'm
proper food bring about the same
results among the very poor.
